About Myomectomy

A myomectomy is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to remove uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) while preserving the uterus. This fertility-sparing option is ideal for women who wish to maintain their ability to conceive or prefer to keep their uterus. The surgery can be performed through various approaches, including hysteroscopic (through the vagina and cervix), laparoscopic (minimally invasive with small abdominal incisions), or abdominal (open surgery with a larger incision). The choice of technique depends on the fibroid's size, number, and location. Myomectomy effectively alleviates symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure, improving quality of life without the need for a hysterectomy.
